the other a window. In front, a table with cover. On the table a 
lighted lamp. Two small jardinieres and some books, 

Emily discovered seated near the table, in a large arm-chair, asleep 
over a book. She wakes— her eyes fall on the volume, which she 
takes up. 

Emily. Yes, my novel ! It is clever enough, but it bores me ! 
(Short pause. J Bores me? Does it? Poor little book, I beg your 
iniriloii ; I begau to read you with a mind at ease — that is, not very 
uneasy- with a full heart, it is true, but still a tranquil one— present- 
ly, I don't know how it was, my thoughts began to wander. I turned 
the pages, I read the words without taking in their meaning— the 
true novel, the real romance, the one we love. Ah, it is the one 
loithin. Yon tell me tales of happy lovers, hntmyiale! Tears are 
in my eyes, pain is in my heart. Go ! (Flings the book down, rises, 
and changes her tone. ) Folly ! Yes, I am a fool ! My husband 
adores me. I know it, I believe it. (Slowly.) I would believe it 
even if I doubted it. I don't doubt it ; but (anxiously) can we evt-r 
be really sure of a husband's love? For the last two days he has 
taken a new tone towards me. A tone of — of airy indifference. He 
has something to hide! "Good-bye, love," he says lightly, and is 
gone. And I am left behind, alone! (Pause.) The same thing 
yesterday. When be returned 1 met him as I ought, with looks of

grave displeasure, but I couldn't keep Vint up, aud here T am puuisli- 
ed for my wtakuebS. To-day it is worse than ever ! Hi did show a 
litlle compunction when lejiving nie, but he checked it quickly, aud 
isaid in a tender tone to deceive lue, "Don't wait dinner, darling." 
(Sadly.) I dined «/oue — his empty plate before me! 1 don't know 
whether I was angry or resigned. I cocld not eat a monlhtul. The 
very sight of onr initials twined together on the decanters ciioked me. 
Poor Louis kept urging this and that upon me. " Won't Madame 
try tbisV" No, Louis. "But, Madame—" No, Louis, no, thank 
you. I could not show emotion before my servants, so I rdshed 
in here with a heart full of pain and anger, and burst into floods of 
tears. What! Cry for lihn! Cry because he neglects, abandons 
me! Not I! (Laughs — Complete change of tone ; addresshig the au- 
dience gayly.) Besides, after all, I don't think he abandons me. 
Stiii, there is something to avenge, I shall avenge it ! I wish I could 
think of some dreadful, terrible method! ( Vehemeidly . ) Good 
gracious, Low I wish I could be honestly ill-natured ! (Springs up, 
and runs to the door.) Some one knocked, Who is it? What do 
you want? (Half opening the door.) No one, after all. (Clock 
strikes.) There, some one rang the bell. (With vex'diim. ) Only 
the clock ! (Looks at the hour. ) One o'clock ! Is it possible ? Ah, 
let him come home now if he likes. He will find that the door is 
locked. ( Turiis the key in lock hastily, lakes it oid and shows it to the 
audience.) There's the key. (Flings the key backwards over her 
shoulder.) And there, sir, find it if you can ! ( The key falls into a 
china jar loithout her noticing it.) I never find anything I put away, 
60 I am safe enough. Yes, safe, and free, and — (A pause — goes to tlie 
window and draws aside the curtains — a bell rings. ) There's the door- 
bell at last! Some one has answered it. (Listens.) I hear his 
voice. That's his step. (Drawing a long breath.) Oh, I loas 
frightened ! Never mind, I won't be weak now. I'll reconnoitre the 
enemy. (Looks through the key-hole^ draws back quickly and stands 
a little aside, so as not to be seen throngli. the key-hole herself. Two or 
three gentle taps are heard. To herself, huighiug.) I hear nothing. 
( More taps. ) Go on, you may knock till dawn if it pleases you ! 
(Listening.) He asks if I'm asleep. Asleep, indeed ! DoeHhereally 
think it? (Aloud.) Yes, sir, sound asleep. (To herself.) What 
is he doing? (Looks through the key-hole and draws back as before.) 
The wretch ! He is laughing ! His coolness is pure insolence, 
(Aloud.) Do you dare to laugh. (Listens, <n>drepp<ds <fter him. ) 
"What next?" Do you venture to ask what next ? (St'inds before tJte 
door, angrily. ) Are you not ashamed of yourself? ( Turns axcay — 
repeats scornfully. ) Your darling, indeed ! ( To the audience. ) But 
he said it tenderly. No matter for that, he can't s(»ften me now ! 
(lAstens.) What are you saying? "Are you to wait long?" 
(Laughing. ) Make yourself comfortable where vom are. You'll have 
to get accustomedto it. (A short silence — presently shf smells something 
in the air.) Good gracious, he has lighted a cigar ! Oh, that's not

to be endured ! Sir, permit me to say tbat you shall not smoke in my 
presence. What do you say? 1 can't hear you. ( Bepedtbuj. j 
"You are not in my presence ?" Well, that's true. ( Very decldtdiy. ) 
Now listen — but suppose we sit down. (Rolls her chair to the duor 
and reclines in it. ) There! It is a new style of interview, but ou 
the whole satisfactory. We can talk very well through a "Locked 
.Door." (Reflects a moineid, then in a (jrave voice tuid very slowly.) 
I'll ^ive him a lessoji. So, sir, after your late conduct, it is too pain- 
ful to me to meet you face to face. You can hear my words, but you 
cannot see the glance of pain and condemnation which accompanies 
them. / cannot see the blush of shame with which you listen. 
Speak as I am speaking — solenady. I will listen to your excuses. 
Not a Avord ! (Induj)iantly.) He ccmH be asleep? (Knocks softly 
on the door — her husband knocks in the same loay.) No, bespeaks! 
What does he say? (Listens, and repeats his icords. J "I preach 
well !" (Springing up angrily.) What a shameless answer ! At any 
rate, I preach to a lost soul. Do you hear me, sir? I asked 
you to justify yourself honorably, and recover my esteem. I 
may be good, and amiable, and loving — yes, my heart is full 
of charity ; it is tender to the afflicted, easily entreated, mer- 
ciful to others. It would be hard to find a better woman — 
sweeter, more devoted — hut — what's tliat? (Slops suddenly, hears 
a word, and repeats it angrily.) "A pattern?" Yes, sir, a pat- 
tern! What sort of a crown should I place ou your head? (Impa- 
tiently.) Where is your repentance? Your excuses, your— fii.sieu.v, 
hursts out laughing, half turns to the audience.) Ah, "you will an- 
swer when I unlock the door." You are wasting time. Have I no 
memory, think you? I forgave you yesterday, and now you wish me 
to do it again to-day ! Ah, the old, old story, man's selfishness — 
woman's devotion. But, (sarcastically) to soothe your wounded 
feelings, I will allow that you are captivating, your eyes are soft, 
your voice caressing. ( Cluing in g her tone.) Base deceiver! (Re- 
covering lierself. ) Yes, with a tender look, you hide a false heart, a 
cvuel nature ; but, coward though 1 be, I can protect myself. I have 
built an iron wall between us — I mean to say an iron lock, and that 
lock has a key in it, and that key is turned. Yes, sir, the door is 
locked — (Expectant pause) — and it will stay locked! (To the audi- 
ence.) All the same, he is very good-natured. ( Looking romid. ) I 
don't see that key. (Goes to the doo7', listens a moment, tJien hi a soft 
voice.) All, me, if you are unhappy I regret it. (Listens — pro- 
voked.) He calls me a "dear soul!" Why can't he be serious and 
penitent I (Persuasively.) Confess yourself, love! I promise to 
forgive all, if you will simply admit that you are wrong just once. 
Tell me all, and that will satisfy me. Can a woman sa}' more? 
Come, I'm listening. Here is my ear at the keyhole. (Listens, 
starts hack angrily and repeats.) Wliat? "You won't play such a 
silly farce !" Farce! It will soon expand into a tragedy. (Flings 
herself into the arm-chair^ and hecomes very melo-dramatic. ) Unhappy 



b THE LOCKED DOOE. 

woman tliat I am ! Sir, yon are simply infamous ! No, I — I — I — 
(Lmujhs in spite of herself — struggles to he serious. J My duty lies 
plainly before me. I will never see you again, never! ( Whirls her 
chair rouiid with its hack to iiie door, drawintj it rather nearer the audi- 
ence. ) And now be silent, the die is cast. Words cannot avail you 
— nothing can avail you — no, not if you knelt before me fevered with 
the ganjbler's frenz}', maddened by the flowing cup, cynicism in 
your heart, treachery in your eye. { To the audience, j I've read that 
somewhere — it isn't mine, but it doesn't matter! (To her Jmshand.) 
I have no words to describe your conduct, whilst I — ( Talcing a melo- 
dramatic tone) — poor, bruised, forsaken, abandoned wife. I call to 
mind my dreary destiny ! ( Very mournful. ) This night has aged 
nie by seventeen years and a half at least— yes, it has doubled my 
age— my youth is gone! (Turns her chair a little totoards the door ; 
loiih a slight to)ie of menace.) And I shall grow older and older. I 
shall soon be a hundred — sorrow will make me old — old — haggard, 
scraggy, hard, dry, hideous, frightful to behold! ( Very melancholy. ) 
To-morrow I shall put away my pretty dre.sses, and 1 shall wear 
sackcloth and ashes, and brown linen, and all that's ugly and un- 
becoming. (Is sile)d a moment — then in a sepulchral voice, walking 
slowly towards the tahle.) Sleep shuns my weary eyelids and so — 
farewell ! (Sits down.) Here then I await the dawn ! ( Takes up a 
newspaper, looks at it, then in another tone.) Gracious, it is the 
Figaro ! ( The door is shaken violently — she runs to it. ) What is it ? 
" Don't read Figaro !" And, pray, why not? Ah, I know ! There's 
some scandal in it. Your deeds are shown up, of course. I might 
have known it. Not read it, indeed! Won't I! ( Opens the paper, 
and looks it over. ) Oh, where is it? What is it? Here — no — yes — 
politics — Enssia— Eastern Quesiinn — as if that mattered ! Ah, here 
it is. I see your name. 1 could have sworn it ! ( Glances at the 
article; then reads aUnui, first loith a low voice, then loith emotion. ) 
"A DuKL. WITH Torches. — Although possessed of the earliest in- 
formation, we refrained, with a delicacy all must appreciate, from 
n)akiug known the particulars of a deplorable quarrel which has 
occurred between two distinguished members of society. The affair 
began as the parties were leaving the Opera house on Tuesday even- 
ing. A lady, leaning on the arm of her husband, could not refrain 
from smiling" — (Slopping) — Good heavens, it was I — (Reading) — 
"fiom smiling as she observed the dress and manners of a well-known 
lady. Her smile, it appears, wounded the suscepsibiliiies of a gen- 
tleman who accompanied the lady in question, and he showed his 
bad taste by using an expression which the lady did not hear, but 
which, unfortunately, reached the ears of her husband. * * * * One 
of the gentlemen was obliged to leave Paris early in the morning ; 
the meeting has therefore been arranged to take place to-day in a 
private garden by torch-light !" (Lets the paper fall— clasps her hands 
excitedly.) Good heavens! He has fought a duel! And I, heart- 
less fool that I am! Henri, Henri, my angel, my love, my darling 1

then recovers herself . ) Come, couie to me! ( Recollects, rusJies to the 
door to wdock it, slops sliort, ?nissing key. ) Ab, oue moment ; let me
